There is a limited amount of evidence that suggests sensitivity to certain foods can cause eczema flare ups. If you are in the process of weaning your baby you should make sure you introduce one food at a time so that you can notice any reactions. Consult your doctor for directions .The two most common food allergens are wheat and dairy products.Wheat can be found in most baby cereal foods, breads, pasta, gravies and even in soy sauce. It is the gluten in wheat that causes an allergic reaction. Dairy products can be found in milk, ice cream, cottage cheese, yogurt and cheese.
Other possible foods which cause eczema are:
• Seafood
• Pulses
• Eggs
• Nuts
• Soy Products
• Acidic fruits such as citrus
• Honey
• Some Spices
• Highly salted foods
• Caffeine
• Chocolate
• Processed foods which contain preservatives and colourings
